Please. Even Breitbart (darkness be upon his soul) stayed away from Birferism. He had a pretty tense confrontation with Joseph Farah over it. Even if Breitbart thought there was something to it, he knew it was a loser and make the Teabaggers look even more unhinged than they are.

But not Mitt. He's going to embrace the looniest Birfer other than Oily Taint.

Setting aside the ridiculous fact that a painting like that actually exists and people would want to buy it, that artist actually copied that from some Assassin's Creed character art and didn't credit the original author.

McCain passed his wireless microphone to one woman who said, "I can't trust Obama. I have read about him and he's not, he's not uh - he's an Arab. He's not - " before McCain retook the microphone and replied:

"No, ma'am. He's a decent family man [and] citizen that I just happen to have disagreements with on fundamental issues and that's what this campaign's all about. He's not [an Arab]."

...

"We want to fight, and I will fight," McCain said. "But I will be respectful. I admire Sen. Obama and his accomplishments, and I will respect him."

At which point he was booed again.

Wow. At the time I blamed McCain's campaign for fanning the flames that would cause such idiocy but in hindsight he looks like a saint. Now look how far we've sunk.

The Painting Obama Fears

We shape our buildings; thereafter they shape us."-Winston Churchill

Art is powerful. Through art nations have been swayed toward greatness ... and toward Obama. Via the arts souls have been lifted and wars have been waged. There's no mistaking the mighty leverage art wields on people and lands.

For instance, on a personal level, my buddy Hambone Tweedle lives in a house that his wife has decorated with Hello Kitty swag, ubiquitous doilies and posters of fat baby angels who look like they're stoned out of their gourd on Robitussin. His flat looks like Jan Crouch, Ross Matthews and Gianni Versace's ghost had an open-ended interior design budget and went flippin' nuts on the place. The home he's henpecked to dwell in is a ghastly chick hell. The place screams, "This is no place for old men!" He's emasculated. It's a fait accompli for his cojones.

From a national standpoint, do you wanna know why folks in Communist nations are depressed and are forced at gunpoint to smile when U.S. cameras are rolling? Well, one reason, aside from the mediocre hell Communism spawns, is their art. It's hard to feel chipper when the only works of art you behold are giant prints of the inbred dictator and the utilitarian gray block buildings he skimped on so he could have gold toilets in his 90-room mansion.

Art, as Churchill stated, shapes us. Good art lifts our spirits, opens mental doors, takes us to a happy place and/or gives us an attitude. That's why I have a painting of a big middle finger in my foyer. Just kidding. I don't have a big middle finger in my foyer. It's actually in the stairwell.

Seriously, in the Giles Manor I have trophy animals and paintings of trophy animals, African warriors and Native American Indian warriors adorning my walls. Why do I have such a man cave? Well, one reason I have it so designed is we have three women in the house, and I've got to do something to offset all the bras and panties strewn everywhere. In addition, these awesome animals and warriors feed my soul. When I gaze at them it makes me feel stupid and weak when I whine like a 12-year-old girl if I don't get my way.

Being fascinated with butt kicking beasts and people, I was duly impressed when I saw the digital painting that artist David Bugnon (Boo-nyon) did of the late Andrew Breitbart. David absolutely knocked it out of the park with his painting depicting Andrew as the consummate intellectual warrior that he was.

When it came to the cause of truth, Breitbart was one in a million: a provocateur par excellence. I saw his combatant spirit up close and personal when he and my family went through the 2009 ACORN scandal that my daughter Hannah Giles stirred up via her investigation.

Yep, Andrew would happily fight people, organizations and governments with tooth, fang and claw if he sensed any anti-American, BS-laden sentiments stemming from said lemmings, and Bugnon's piece captures AB's essence as a contrarian: confident and geared-up.

Look, I'm not a big fan of having paintings of contemporaries on my wall-especially paintings of other men; however, I've made room on my wall for a nice reproduction of Bugnon's painting because I admire, appreciate and wish to emulate the moxie Andrew perfected for that which is just and true. I think I'll put my print by my front door so as I depart my house and dive into the cultural trenches I will be ever mindful, thanks to Andrew's example, that there are things worth scrapping for-and America's founding docs are definitely one of them.

Check out Bugnon's painting: "Andrew Breitbart: I Am Compelled to Fight" by clicking the various links below. NOTE: 50% of David's profits go to The Andrew Breitbart Children's Trust.

Lumpmoose:Wow. At the time I blamed McCain's campaign for fanning the flames that would cause such idiocy but in hindsight he looks like a saint. Now look how far we've sunk.

If all I have read on this is correct, McCain himself wanted nothing to do with that nonsense, and it was Palin that thought it would be a good idea to push the Muslim/Arab/birth question against McCain's wishes.

You never know what's true or not, but McCain not being a stranger to some really low attacks ("the illegitimate black daughter") he may well have wanted to rise above such complete and utter stupidity.

Holy balls. That is perfect. From the derp-saturated text, to the fact that I guessed the domain name would have the word "patriot" or "freedom" in it before clicking, to the painting with divine rays shining upon JunkieRageBart from heaven while the people that would buy that crap are he ones projecting that "leftist lieburals think teh 0Bamba is teh meseya." It's all so perfect.

I have to say the sheer natural talent that the blight-wingers have for separating fools from their money is breathtaking.

I'm more bothered that the picture is in the style of a Harlequin romance cover. Someone is having some serious sexy thoughts about being held down and farked hard by breitbart's ghost in costume.

He picked the wrong person for VP if he was looking to rise above stupidity of any sort.

Lo, there do I see my Reagan. Lo, there do I see my Thatcher, and my Malkin and my Drudge. Lo, there do I see the line of my people back to the beginning. Lo, they do derp to me. They bid me take my place among them In the halls of Valhalla, where the brave may live forever.

Most of the hatred at Breitbart was fueled by the lefts blatant anti-semitism.

Dr.Zom:Lo, there do I see my Reagan. Lo, there do I see my Thatcher, and my Malkin and my Drudge. Lo, there do I see the line of my people back to the beginning. Lo, they do derp to me. They bid me take my place among them In the halls of Valhalla, where the brave may live forever.

If I had $5 to my name right now, I would totally sponsor you for that. Beautifully done!
